it's hard not to be depressed these days. I had depression after all 3 pregnancy's, this time it started during my pregnancy, My dr. put me on med. for it right now, one that wont harm the baby. Sometime we need a little help. 8 days until my next scan. At least you have more time off, amd your body can heal. Hope you have a great day.

Hi Amy

Well -I have a midwife appt today and so hoping that I get to hear lil ones heartbeat -for the first time lol. SHe said it was too early at my 16 week appt so I haven't heard it yet. Annoying thing is that by now it is audible by stethoscope - and I cant find mine as the house is in turmoil with all the refurbishments going on lol.

He's bouncing about all the time, so its not even a reassurance thing now -I just want to hear it lol.

Hope you are having a good day and really hope everything goes well with your next scan. xx

Good luck today. I hope you get to hear your little man's heartbeat. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Yay heard his heart beat -it was wonderful -although shortlived, as she was listening to his heart beat she was teling me that because of my spd I'll need to go consultant led. I was kind of listening to my lil man's heart and thinking awww so wonderful; and then going what?? I cant have my baby here in the community midwife unit??? She said no, probably not as my spd is so severe sob sob

The CMU is so lush ,big private homely rooms, with tv/ dvd; even games consoles for the kids, huge birthing pool, loads of birthing 'toys -beanbags, wedges, etc. I want to go there. And its only a few minutes from my house, and I used to work upstairs in a different ward so my work pals could all pop in before I went home.

Sorry for being on a bit of a downer today -promise Ill stop whining now. I am going to play with my pram -just arrived lol I know its early but it was such a bargain. xx

Take care xx

for hearing little man's heartbeat. to the cmu news. I'm sorry. I have heard a lot of good things about midwifes. We have always used the hospital. I hope your day gets beter. I'm sorry I'm not very bright today. Whats Spd?

Hi
SPD -symphis pubis dysfunction (or pelvic girdle pain). Instability in the pelvic ligaments and joints, which can cause pain in pelvic region, hips, back, legs.
Midwife thinks that my symphis pubis joint (right at the front of the pubic bone) has split, Ouch!!!

At the other hospital,I will still be cared for by midwifes, just not my local midwifery team -so strangers really -and there will be medics and my consultant OB on hand if needs be. Whereas at my CMU, it is midwifes only with no medicla support. In cases of emergency, they need to get you transferred via ambulance to the larger maternity unit ,so I s'pose if me and lil man are both safe then it's not the end of the world. I just so wanted to go to my local CMU.

Anyway -how are things with you today?
Have you thought of any names yet? We are really struggling ,with our last son we eventually decided on one name only and that was hard work. I have a few but DH isn't so keen, and likewise lol -It is so hard isn't it lol???

I love Cole, Tyler, Mason but DH not so keen; also love Finn and Max but neither go right with my surname -Fox : Finn Fox sounds like a cartton character, and Max Fox (Matchbox lol) isn't much better. OOh love Ethan too, but DH vetoed it last time ,wonder if he'll remember -Just threw that out to him there lol -hmmm, not bad he said quite like that. Promising lol
He likes Calvin - I didn't mind it until I looked up the meaning lol - means bald haha; and Dawson is on our list too, cos he found out it means son of David (him being a David lol).

This time next week we'll have another bundle of not-so -sure-about names; hopefully when we think of the one it willl just be right. Ethan David Fox sounds nice though, whatcha think? Or Cole David Fox?

Anyway -I'll stop rambling on now -have a fab day, take care of yourself and bump xxxx

I'm sorry about your Spd. That sounds painful. At least they are taking every step to make sure you and baby are ok. We are naming our little man Noah Michael. Noah has been our boy name for all of our pregnancies. But we never got to use it. Until now. Lol. Michael is after my dad. I figured that he already gets his dads last name so his middle name comes from my side. Ny grandpa is michael, my dad is Michael and my middle name is Michelle.( the female version of Michael) I like the names that you have picked out. Tyler is cute. I have a friend that is due next. Week and they still do not have a name for there boy. She said they have a list of names but they want to see him 1st. I like being able to talk to my baby with his name for practice. Ours was easy to pick when we thought of noah when we were pregnant with our oldest. We saw a sign at the side of the road that said even noah has a sign. Lol turned out we had. Girl so that sign wasn't for us. Lol
I'm hoping to get a nap in today I'm very. Tired. Hope you have a great day.

Do you know what?? -I knew that lol -its been on your ticker the whole time lol -Lovely name. My kids middle names have all been after family -I quite like telling them about who they were named after and why. My other three's middle names are after my grandparents and this lil man will be having David (after my DH and my godfather too)

I have moved up a box today -yay Box 6 already OMG!!

Hope you managed a sleep today and are feeling abit more refreshed
Take care xx

I did get a nap but woke up feeling even more tired. I believe have a 2 and a 3 year old dont help. Lol it feels like the first half of this pregnancy has flown by. Now its starting ti slow down. Well I am off to bed. Hope you have a wonderful day.
